ALL FOR FREE (Sve Džaba)

FILM INFORMATION

Synopsis After his friends are killed in a bizarre, bar room argument, Goran devises an unusual plan to deal with the loss: he will sell his house, buy a mobile tavern and travel from town to town, giving away free drinks to everyone he meets. But for everyone except Goran, the idea is strangely suspicious, and a bit absurd, in director Antonio Nuic's darkly humorous tale of loss and reconciliation, told as a metaphor for Bosnia's gradual rediscovery of its shared humanity, lost during the war.

About the Director Antonio Nui? was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1977. He graduated in Film and TV Directing from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, Croatia and is a member of the Croatian Film Directors Society. He has previously directed numerous short films, TV shows, and music and promotional videos. All For Free is his first feature film.

“On his first feature, young Sarajevan helmer Antonio Nuic captures the empty ache left by the death of friends and loved ones, and the survivors' unwillingness to carry on fruitful lives following their loss. This delicate effort often hits the mark...” -Variety
